SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Consolidated Financial Statements The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apyx, its wholly owned subsidiary, Apyx Bulgaria, EOOD, and its 51% owned subsidiary, Apyx SY Medical Devices (Ningbo) Co., Ltd. (collectively, "Apyx," or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions the Company is required to make. Cash and Cash Equivalents Holdings of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of the Company’s investments are in money market funds or in Treasury Bills with original maturities of three months or less and are included in cash and cash equivalents. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. With respect to cash, the Company frequently maintains cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured limits; it has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company's standard credit terms for billings range from net 30 days to net 120 days, depending on the customer agreement. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payments are not made in accordance with such agreements and an allowance is generally recorded for accounts that become three months past due, or sooner if there are other indicators that the receivables may not be recovered. Customary collection efforts are initiated, and receivables are written off when the Company determines they are not collectible and abandons these collection efforts. The Company evaluates the allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis for adequacy based upon its periodic review of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect its customers’ ability to pay and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Management believes that the allowances for doubtful accounts of approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are adequate to provide for probable bad debts. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Factory overhead costs are allocated to manufactured inventory based upon labor hours. The Company monitors inventory usage to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the item and adjusts inventory for estimated obsolescence or unusable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Betterments and major improvements, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized, whereas maintenance and repairs and routine improvements are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives are: buildings and improvements, 39 years; machinery and equipment, 3-10 years; furniture and fixtures, 5-10 years; computer equipment and software, 3-5 years; and molds, 7-15 years. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may have been impaired. This circumstance exists when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In those cases, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Any impairment losses are not restored in the future if the fair value increases. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company believes the remaining carrying values of its long-lived assets are recoverable. Product Warranties The Company provides a four year limited warranty on end-user sales of its Renuvion®/J-Plasma® generators, a two year warranty on mounting fixtures, and a one-year warranty on certain accessories. The Company estimates and provides for future costs for product warranties in cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized. The Company bases its product warranty costs on related material costs, repair labor costs and shipping costs. The Company estimates the future cost of product warranties by considering historical material, repair labor, and shipping costs, and applying the experience rates to the outstanding warranty period for products sold. It is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive for those goods or services. To recognize revenue, the Company (i) identifies the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenue when, or as, it satisfies the performance obligation(s). For sales of the Company's Advanced Energy products (Renuvion®/J-Plasma®), this is at a point in time when title has been transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or receipt by customer for FOB destination terms. For sales of products under its OEM agreements, the Company recognizes revenue over time when no alternative use exists for the manufactured goods and the Company has rights to payment. Presently, the Company does not stock any significant completed goods under its OEM agreements, accordingly, the recognition of revenue under these agreements approximates point in time recognition. The following policies apply to its major categories of revenue transactions: • The majority of sales to customers are evidenced by firm purchase orders. Generally, title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer when the product is shipped. Payment by the customer is due under fixed payment terms. • Product returns are only accepted at the Company's discretion and in accordance with its “Returned Goods Policy”. Historically, the level of product returns has not been significant. Accruals for sales returns, rebates and allowances are made as a reduction of revenue based upon an analysis of historical customer returns and credits, rebates, discounts and current market conditions. • The terms of sale to customers generally do not include any obligations to perform future services. Limited warranties are generally provided for sales and provisions for warranty are provided at the time of product sale based upon an analysis of historical data. • In connection with the execution of OEM supply agreements, the Company may enter into an accompanying product development agreement. If the Company enters into a product development agreement, and development of the goods does not represent a performance obligation on a standalone basis, the Company defers the development fees billed to customers and the associated costs. Recognition of the deferred billings and costs will occur as the Company performs on the accompanying supply arrangements. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amounts of advertising costs, including trade shows, were approximately $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . FASB ASC 718 requires recognizing compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees based upon the grant date fair value of such awards. It accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The standard covers employee stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards. The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock option awards. For employee and director awards, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. For non-employee awards, compensation expense is recorded for non-forfeitable, fully vested awards at the grant date. For other awards granted to non-employees, compensation cost is recognized as services are provided, which approximates a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Litigation Contingencies In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company accrues a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded; actual results may differ from those estimates. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company computes basic (loss) earnings attributable to common stockholders per share by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders gives effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive shares is calculated using the treasury stock method which reduces the effective number of shares by the amount of shares the Company could purchase with the proceeds of assumed exercises. Anti-dilutive units are excluded from the calculation of diluted shares. In periods of loss, all potentially dilutive units are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share. Research and Development Costs Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Income Taxes The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes . Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the deferred taxes reverse. The Company accounts for interest and penalties on income taxes as income tax expense. A valuation allowances is recorded when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances the Company considers projected future taxable income, the timing of reversals of temporary differences, and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of continuing operations improve, and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. As Management has not fully determined the timing of when it will generate taxable income in the U.S., the Company will continue to record a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021. As a result of the CARES Act, during 2020, the Company released the valuation allowance on the Federal NOLs 2019 and 2020 that have been carried back to prior taxable years. The Company assesses the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. Foreign Currency Transactions The functional currency of Apyx Bulgaria is the U.S. dollar. The monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, while nonmonetary items are remeasured at historical rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at weighted average exchange rates during the period. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, contract assets, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update, as originally issued, was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates , which deferred the effective dates of these standards for Smaller Reporting Companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company currently expects to continue to qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company, based upon the current SEC definition and, as a result, will be utilizing the deferred elective date. While the Company is in the process of determining the effects of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements, it does not expect the impact to be material. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Generally, title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer when the product is shipped. Payment by the customer is due under fixed payment terms. • Product returns are only accepted at the Company's discretion and in accordance with its “Returned Goods Policy”. Historically, the level of product returns has not been significant. Accruals for sales returns, rebates and allowances are made as a reduction of revenue based upon an analysis of historical customer returns and credits, rebates, discounts and current market conditions. • The terms of sale to customers generally do not include any obligations to perform future services. Limited warranties are generally provided for sales and provisions for warranty are provided at the time of product sale based upon an analysis of historical data. • In connection with the execution of OEM supply agreements, the Company may enter into an accompanying product development agreement. If the Company enters into a product development agreement, and development of the goods does not represent a performance obligation on a standalone basis, the Company defers the development fees billed to customers and the associated costs. Recognition of the deferred billings and costs will occur as the Company performs on the accompanying supply arrangements. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. The amounts of advertising costs, including trade shows, were approximately $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . FASB ASC 718 requires recognizing compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees based upon the grant date fair value of such awards. It accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The standard covers employee stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards. The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock option awards. For employee and director awards, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. For non-employee awards, compensation expense is recorded for non-forfeitable, fully vested awards at the grant date. For other awards granted to non-employees, compensation cost is recognized as services are provided, which approximates a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Litigation Contingencies In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company accrues a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded; actual results may differ from those estimates. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company computes basic (loss) earnings attributable to common stockholders per share by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders gives effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive shares is calculated using the treasury stock method which reduces the effective number of shares by the amount of shares the Company could purchase with the proceeds of assumed exercises. Anti-dilutive units are excluded from the calculation of diluted shares. In periods of loss, all potentially dilutive units are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share. Research and Development Costs Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred. Income Taxes The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes . Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the deferred taxes reverse. The Company accounts for interest and penalties on income taxes as income tax expense. A valuation allowances is recorded when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances the Company considers projected future taxable income, the timing of reversals of temporary differences, and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of continuing operations improve, and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. As Management has not fully determined the timing of when it will generate taxable income in the U.S., the Company will continue to record a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021. As a result of the CARES Act, during 2020, the Company released the valuation allowance on the Federal NOLs 2019 and 2020 that have been carried back to prior taxable years. The Company assesses the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. Foreign Currency Transactions The functional currency of Apyx Bulgaria is the U.S. dollar. The monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, while nonmonetary items are remeasured at historical rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at weighted average exchange rates during the period. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, contract assets, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update, as originally issued, was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates , which deferred the effective dates of these standards for Smaller Reporting Companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company currently expects to continue to qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company, based upon the current SEC definition and, as a result, will be utilizing the deferred elective date. While the Company is in the process of determining the effects of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements, it does not expect the impact to be material. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES The Company does not recognize leases with terms less than twelve months in duration, or that have variable only payments, in its Consolidated Balance Sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company has adopted the practical expedient which allows for the Company to not separate lease and non-lease components of contracts. Accordingly, non-lease components are included in the measurement of the Company’s lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. If the Company is aware of the implicit rate in leases, the Company determines the operating lease liability using the implicit rate. For those leases where the Company is not aware of the implicit rate in the lease, the Company utilizes an incremental borrowing rate of 4.00%, which is indicative of its collateralized borrowing rate. Operating Leases The Company leases its facility in Sofia, Bulgaria and vehicles in Clearwater, Florida under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. The Company’s lease on the Bulgaria facility includes rent escalation over the term of the lease. Rent expense on the Bulgaria facility lease is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease term. These operating leases have terms expiring through December 2022. Finance Leases The Company has entered into non-cancelable finance leases for certain computer equipment and a vehicle in Clearwater, Florida. These finance leases have terms expiring through August 2023.

CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES	CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIESThe Company’s contracts with customers may result in the Company having contract assets and liabilities. These contract assets and liabilities arise primarily from OEM development and supply agreements where the development of the goods does not represent a performance obligation on a standalone basis. The Company defers the development fees billed to customers, and the associated costs, and recognizes them as it completes performance obligations on the supply portion of the agreement. Other contract liabilities may be recognized when a customer prepays for goods or services. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company had recorded approximately $1.9 million and $0.6 million of contract liabilities and $0.5 million and $0.2 million of contract assets related to customer prepayments and the deferral of revenues and expenses under these agreements. At December 31, 2021, $0.5 million of the contract liabilities and $0.1 million of the contract assets are presented as current in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively.

The CARES Act includes a provision that allows companies to carryback net operating losses (NOL’s) generated in the period 2018 through 2020 to prior years. In conjunction with the disposition of the Core business in 2018, the Company generated a significant amount of taxable income in 2018. Subsequent to this, the Company generated NOLs in 2019 and 2020. For the NOLs generated in 2019, the Company previously recorded a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets associated with the NOL due to realization not being probable under then existing tax law. The CARES Act makes these assets realizable and, as of the date of the CARES Act, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $3.7 million associated with the release of the valuation allowance on its Federal NOL deferred tax asset from 2019. Additionally, using the provisions of the CARES Act, the Company carried back its 2020 Federal NOL of approximately $3.7 million. The Company considers all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, including past operating results and future sources of taxable income. The Company considers the earnings of Apyx Bulgaria, EOOD to be indefinitely invested outside the United States on the basis of estimates that future domestic cash generation will be sufficient to meet future domestic cash needs and our specific plans for reinvestment of those subsidiary earnings. It has not recorded a deferred tax liability related to the U.S. Federal and State income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on the undistributed earnings of Apyx Bulgaria, EOOD indefinitely invested outside the United States. If it decides to repatriate the foreign earnings, the Company will need to adjust its income tax provision in the period it determines that the earnings will no longer be indefinitely invested outside the United States. The Company assesses the financial statement impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized in the financial statements unless it is more likely than not of being sustained. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recorded a liability of approximately $1.3 million related to uncertain tax positions and accrued approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest and penalties on these positions. All unrecognized tax benefits are expected to be resolved within the next 12 months. The following is a roll-forward of the Company's total gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including interest and penalties, for the years ended December 31: (in thousands) Gross Unrealized Tax Benefits 2021 2020 Beginning of year balance $ 1,313 $ 1,313 Additions of tax positions related to the current year — — Additions of tax positions related to the prior year — — Decreases for tax positions related to prior year — — End of year balance $ 1,313 $ 1,313 The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income tax examination.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation The medical device industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, and the Company may become subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. Such claims may include claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors, claims concerning the marketing and promotion of our products and product liability claims. The Company is involved in a number of legal actions relating to the use of our Helium Plasma technology. The outcomes of these legal actions are not within the Company’s control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. It believes that such claims are adequately covered by insurance; however, in the case of one of the Company’s carriers, the Company is in a dispute regarding the total level of coverage available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the opinion of management, the Company has meritorious defenses, and such claims are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. However, in the event that damages exceed the aggregate coverage limits of the Company’s policies or if its insurance carriers disclaim coverage, management believes it is possible that costs associated with these claims could have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The Company accrues a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is recorded. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
STOCK OPTIONS	STOCK OPTIONS On October 30, 2007, the Company’s stockholders approved, and the Board of Directors adopted an amendment to the 2003 Executive and Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan from 1.2 million shares (already reserved against outstanding options) to 1.7 million shares. Except for the increase in the number of shares covered by the Plan, the Plan remained otherwise unchanged. In 2001, the Board of Directors adopted the 2001 Executive and Employee Stock Option Plan which reserved for issuance 1.2 million stock options. Stock options to employees typically have a ten-year life and currently vest over periods between one In July 2012, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2012 Share Incentive Plan covering a total of 750,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under the plan. At December 31, 2021 approximately 70,000 are available to be issued in this plan. In July 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2015 Executive and Employee Stock Option Plan covering a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under the plan. At December 31, 2021 approximately 240,000 are available to be issued in this plan. In August 2017, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2017 Executive and Employee Stock Option Plan covering a total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under the plan. At December 31, 2021 approximately 80,000 are available to be issued in this plan. In August 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2019 Share Incentive Plan covering a total of 2,000,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under the plan. At December 31, 2021, all 1,370,000 are available to be issued in this plan. In August 2021, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2021 Share Incentive Plan covering a total of 1,375,000 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options to be granted under the plan. At December 31, 2021, all 1,375,000 are available to be issued in this plan. On January 19, 2022, the Company granted employees appro ximately 1,500,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company's stock. All options granted were pursuant to the 2015 and 2019 Plans noted above. The options ves t over a period of three years. The status of the Company’s stock options is summarized as follows: Number of options Weighted average exercise price Outstanding at December 31, 2019 3,966,858 $ 4.67 Granted 1,376,900 7.94 Exercised (112,965) 3.37 Canceled and forfeited (291,850) 7.19 Outstanding at December 31, 2020 4,938,943 $ 5.46 Granted 894,980 9.37 Exercised (232,521) 6.65 Canceled and forfeited (203,711) 8.27 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 5,397,691 $ 5.95 Number of options Weighted average grant date fair value Non-vested at December 31, 2020 2,044,469 $ 4.61 Granted 894,980 5.76 Vested (952,332) 4.49 Forfeited (184,901) 5.21 Non-vested at December 31, 2021 1,802,216 $ 5.21 Common shares required to be issued upon the exercise of stock options would be issued from authorized and unissued shares. Options are valued using the Black-Scholes model. For employee grants, the Company calculates expected life via the simplified method as it does not have sufficient history to determine actual expected life. For non-employee grants, the Company calculates expected life using a combination of past exercise behavior, the contractual term and expected remaining exercise behavior. Inputs used in the valuation models are as follows: 2021 Grants 2020 Grants Option value $9.29 - $11.51 $4.98 - $8.18 Risk-free rate 0.6% - 0.8% 0.3% - 1.7% Expected dividend yield —% —% Expected volatility 68.9% - 70.8% 65.9% - 70.1% Expected term (in years) 4.5 - 6 6 The Company recognized approximately $5,088,000 and $4,210,000 in stock-based compensation expense during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The intrinsic value of each option share is the difference between the fair value of our common stock and the exercise price of such option share to the extent it is “in-the-money”. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had they exercised their options on the last trading day of the year and sold the underlying shares at the closing stock price on such day. The intrinsic value calculation at December 31, 2021 is based on the $12.82 closing stock price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2021, the last trading day of 2021. As of December 31, 2021, there were 5,037,248 stock options outstanding and expected to vest with an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $35,560,000. These options have a weighted average exercise price of $5.76 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of approximately 6 years. As of December 31, 2021, there were 3,595,475 stock options outstanding and exercisable with an aggregate intrinsic value of approximately $29,460,000. These options have a weighted average exercise price of $4.63 and a weighted average remaining contractual term of approximately 6 years. The total intrinsic value of in the money options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was approximately $1,600,000 and $200,000, respectively. Intrinsic value of exercised shares is the total value of such shares on the date of exercise less the cash received from the option holder to exercise the options or other consideration paid. The total fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was approximately $5,150,000 and $6,580,000, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was $5.76 and $4.78, respectively. The total fair value of option shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, was approximately $4,270,000 and $2,510,000, respectively. The Company allows employees to exercise stock-based awards by surrendering stock-based awards with an intrinsic value equal to the cumulative exercise price of the stock-based awards being exercised, referred to as net settlements. These surrenders are included in stock options exercised in the options rollforward above. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company received 111,831 and 39,448 options as payment in the exercise of 107,357 and 47,088 options, respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION	GEOGRAPHIC AND SEGMENT INFORMATION Operating segments are aggregated into reportable segments only if they exhibit similar economic characteristics. In addition to similar economic characteristics, the Company also considers the following factors in determining the reportable segments: the nature of business activities, the management structure directly accountable to its chief operating decision maker for operating and administrative activities, availability of discrete financial information and information presented to the Board of Directors and investors. Asset information is not reviewed by the chief operating decision maker by segment and is not available by segment, accordingly, the Company has not presented a measure of assets by segment. The Company’s reportable segments are disclosed as principally organized and managed as two operating segments: Advanced Energy and OEM. "Corporate & Other" includes certain unallocated corporate and administrative costs which were not specifically attributed to any reportable segment. The OEM segment is primarily development and manufacturing contract and product driven, all related expenses are recorded as cost of sales, therefore no segment specific operating expenses are incurred. Summarized financial information with respect to reportable segments is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2021 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate (Other) Total Sales $ 42,985 $ 5,532 $ — 48,517 Income (loss) from operations 2,784 1,033 (18,265) (14,448) Interest income — — 11 11 Interest expense — — (10) (10) Other losses, net — — (373) (373) Income tax expense — — 380 380 Year ended December 31, 2020 (In thousands) Advanced Energy OEM Corporate (Other) Total Sales $ 22,214 $ 5,497 $ — $ 27,711 Income (loss) from operations (7,128) 1,838 (14,793) (20,083) Interest income — — 241 241 Interest expense — — (46) (46) Other income, net — — 479 479 Income tax benefit — — 7,503 7,503 International sales in 2021 and 2020, were 32.0% and 32.1% of sales, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICI_2

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2021
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Consolidated Financial Statements	Consolidated Financial StatementsThe accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Apyx, its wholly owned subsidiary, Apyx Bulgaria, EOOD, and its 51% owned subsidiary, Apyx SY Medical Devices (Ningbo) Co., Ltd. (collectively, "Apyx," or the “Company”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements	Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions the Company is required to make.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash EquivalentsHoldings of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of the Company’s investments are in money market funds or in Treasury Bills with original maturities of three months or less and are included in cash and cash equivalents.
Concentration of Credit Risk	Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. With respect to cash, the Company frequently maintains cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of federally insured limits; it has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Trade Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company's standard credit terms for billings range from net 30 days to net 120 days, depending on the customer agreement. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due if payments are not made in accordance with such agreements and an allowance is generally recorded for accounts that become three months past due, or sooner if there are other indicators that the receivables may not be recovered. Customary collection efforts are initiated, and receivables are written off when the Company determines they are not collectible and abandons these collection efforts.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Finished goods and work-in-process inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Factory overhead costs are allocated to manufactured inventory based upon labor hours. The Company monitors inventory usage to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the item and adjusts inventory for estimated obsolescence or unusable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The amortization of leasehold improvements is based on the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement. Betterments and major improvements, which extend the life of the asset, are capitalized, whereas maintenance and repairs and routine improvements are expensed as incurred. The estimated useful lives are: buildings and improvements, 39 years; machinery and equipment, 3-10 years; furniture and fixtures, 5-10 years; computer equipment and software, 3-5 years; and molds, 7-15 years.
Valuation of Long-Lived Assets	Valuation of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets for recoverability if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may have been impaired. This circumstance exists when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In those cases, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the assets’ carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Any impairment losses are not restored in the future if the fair value increases. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company believes the remaining carrying values of its long-lived assets are recoverable.
Product Warranties	Product WarrantiesThe Company provides a four year limited warranty on end-user sales of its Renuvion®/J-Plasma® generators, a two year warranty on mounting fixtures, and a one-year warranty on certain accessories. The Company estimates and provides for future costs for product warranties in cost of sales at the time revenue is recognized. The Company bases its product warranty costs on related material costs, repair labor costs and shipping costs. The Company estimates the future cost of product warranties by considering historical material, repair labor, and shipping costs, and applying the experience rates to the outstanding warranty period for products sold. It is reasonably possible that actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive for those goods or services. To recognize revenue, the Company (i) identifies the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenue when, or as, it satisfies the performance obligation(s). For sales of the Company's Advanced Energy products (Renuvion®/J-Plasma®), this is at a point in time when title has been transferred to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment or receipt by customer for FOB destination terms. For sales of products under its OEM agreements, the Company recognizes revenue over time when no alternative use exists for the manufactured goods and the Company has rights to payment. Presently, the Company does not stock any significant completed goods under its OEM agreements, accordingly, the recognition of revenue under these agreements approximates point in time recognition. The following policies apply to its major categories of revenue transactions: • The majority of sales to customers are evidenced by firm purchase orders. Generally, title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the customer when the product is shipped. Payment by the customer is due under fixed payment terms. • Product returns are only accepted at the Company's discretion and in accordance with its “Returned Goods Policy”. Historically, the level of product returns has not been significant. Accruals for sales returns, rebates and allowances are made as a reduction of revenue based upon an analysis of historical customer returns and credits, rebates, discounts and current market conditions. • The terms of sale to customers generally do not include any obligations to perform future services. Limited warranties are generally provided for sales and provisions for warranty are provided at the time of product sale based upon an analysis of historical data.
Advertising Costs	Advertising CostsAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation . FASB ASC 718 requires recognizing compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, directors and non-employees based upon the grant date fair value of such awards. It accounts for forfeitures as they occur. The standard covers employee stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards. The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock option awards. For employee and director awards, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. For non-employee awards, compensation expense is recorded for non-forfeitable, fully vested awards at the grant date. For other awards granted to non-employees, compensation cost is recognized as services are provided, which approximates a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
Litigation Contingencies	Litigation Contingencies In accordance with authoritative guidance, the Company accrues a liability in its consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is known or considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a known or probable loss is a range, and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not known or probable, and can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss to be recorded; actual results may differ from those estimates.
Earning (Loss) Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share The Company computes basic (loss) earnings attributable to common stockholders per share by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to common stockholders gives effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive shares is calculated using the treasury stock method which reduces the effective number of shares by the amount of shares the Company could purchase with the proceeds of assumed exercises. Anti-dilutive units are excluded from the calculation of diluted shares. In periods of loss, all potentially dilutive units are anti-dilutive and are excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share.
Research and Development Costs	Research and Development CostsResearch and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes . Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the deferred taxes reverse. The Company accounts for interest and penalties on income taxes as income tax expense. A valuation allowances is recorded when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. In determining the need for valuation allowances the Company considers projected future taxable income, the timing of reversals of temporary differences, and the availability of tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets. The Company assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets each reporting period and will be able to reduce the valuation allowance to the extent the financial results of continuing operations improve, and it becomes more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. As Management has not fully determined the timing of when it will generate taxable income in the U.S., the Company will continue to record a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2021. As a result of the CARES Act, during 2020, the Company released the valuation allowance on the Federal NOLs 2019 and 2020 that have been carried back to prior taxable years.
Foreign Currency Transactions	Foreign Currency TransactionsThe functional currency of Apyx Bulgaria is the U.S. dollar. The monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollar are remeasured into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, while nonmonetary items are remeasured at historical rates. Revenue and expenses are remeasured at weighted average exchange rates during the period. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were not material for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, contract assets, held-to-maturity debt securities and loans, and requires entities to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that will result in the earlier recognition of allowance for losses. This update, as originally issued, was effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates , which deferred the effective dates of these standards for Smaller Reporting Companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company currently expects to continue to qualify as a Smaller Reporting Company, based upon the current SEC definition and, as a result, will be utilizing the deferred elective date. While the Company is in the process of determining the effects of the adoption of the standard on the consolidated financial statements, it does not expect the impact to be material. No other new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the fiscal year had or is expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
